ROY KEANE: Ever-willing combatant in United's midfield, but the captain was outbattled by Gennaro Gattuso 6

PAUL SCHOLES: The man Milan feared most. But former England man Scholes was not involved often enough in the most dangerous areas. His set-piece deliveries were poor 6

RYAN GIGGS: Carried United's most potent attacking threat until a freak injury forced him off early in the second half. Struck the foot of Dida's post with a left-footed shot in the first half but a collision with Gattuso left the Welshman with a bloody nose, and in obvious pain. Milan scored soon after his exit 8

WAYNE ROONEY: One of his quietest games in a United shirt, the teenager was expertly shackled by Milan's experienced defenders. Two shots in the second half from distance - one low and five yards wide, one 15 yards over the bar 5

RUUD VAN NISTELROOY: United's European goalscorer supreme was the man they were looking to for goals, but when he skied one chance just before half-time, the feeling was that it would not be his night. Dragged another wide after the break and otherwise had little service 6
